<P>
oRis can either be launched with or without its Graphical User Interface.
The oRis GUI allows you to load simulations, control the running simulation,
display specific graphical windows ... </P>

<P>
Nevertheless, when launched without its GUI (i.e. in text mode), oRis
allows to display graphic windows, but these later should be explicitely
created by the execution of the running simulation. </P>

        <LI>oRis can be stopped explicitely during the execution
            of the simulation or by hitting <TT>Ctrl-C</TT>
            in the text console.

Warning !
</I></B></FONT></P>

<P>
If oRis does not respond, due to an infinite loop in your application or
due to a bug in oRis, try first to hit <TT>Ctrl-C</TT> in the terminal from
which oRis was launched.</P>

<P>
If nothing happens, then you will have to kill the oRis process explicitely.
For this, avoid using the <TT>xkill</TT> UNIX command or the SIGKILL (nb 9)
signal but prefer using:<BR>
<TT>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; kill <I>oRis_PID</I></TT><BR>
or whatever that should normally make the process dye (nb 11 for example).</P>

<P>
If the only way to kill the oRis process is to use:<BR>
<TT>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; kill -9 <I>oRis_PID</I></TT><BR>
or<BR>
<TT>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; xkill</TT><BR>
then you will have to remove the <I>IPC</I>s left using the <TT>ipcs</TT>
and <TT>ipcrm</TT> UNIX commands.</P>

<P>
<CENTER>Hope you'll never have to do that <TT>;^)</TT></CENTER></P>
